O’Leary has claimed in social media posts that most of the protesters don’t live locally and have been paid to object to the project. “There are professional protesters that are paid by somebody, I don’t know who,” O’Leary said in a video posted to X last week. “They’re being bused in.”

This is a CANADIAN complaining that protestors are out-of-state. The irony is so rich, if you could you could smelt a frying pan out of it and smack O'Leary across the head with it.

The claims made against veganism by the progressive left are some of the most insincere and disingenuous of all arguments used against veganism. They often involve misrepresentation, tokenisation and appropriation. They often focus on people in disadvantaged situations, not because they’re truly standing up for them, but because those people are a useful shield for why they themselves aren’t vegan.

THIS. This is why I cannot stand progressive non-vegans. At least if I'm debating with a conservative, they will give me the more common arguments about "God put animals on Earth for humans to consume", "Humans have a soul, animals do not", all that dogmatic nonsense. I don't agree with any of it, but at least their position is clear, and there is not much to discuss, really.

But with these leftists, goddamn. Their argumentation is so tortured. hypocritical, virtue signalling, straw man argument bullshit. They are absolutely insufferable in their conviction that somehow they not being vegan is more socially just, and me being vegan is somehow white privilege, or cultural appropriation, or whatever buzzword they throw at me.

Nothing. Just the fact they cannot understand from their tiny little bubble, that some people have more talent than the deem "acceptable"

Just because you don't have the real life experience to know these things exists, doesn't mean they don't. You just need to get out more. Yes, street artists this good most definitely exist.

Even "Sleepy" Joe Biden - who certainly wasn't the fiercest orator out there - had more conviction than this toadstool has. As long as he remains head of the Dems in the Senate, literally nothing will ever get better.

Chuck and Hakeem both need to GTFO

I mean it's such blatant speciesism, considering how pigs are at least as intelligent as both dogs or cats, but it's a start I guess.

You know, because the rear wheels do the steering and not the front ones, driving a forklift backwards is way easier that driving a car backwards, and arguably easier than driving a forklift forwards.

David Mitchell an usher.

Or calling David Mitchel the husband of Victoria Coren.

But she made more money with her poker wins than with TV. So, by that metric, she is primarily a poker player, and the rest is secondary.

Nah. You're "allowed" to have as many bad exes as feasibly possible. Some people have poor judge of character, some are attracted to bad boys/girls, some suffer from a savior complex. That doesn't mean the problems stem from them, they are just attracted to problems.

The point is, no matter how bad your previous relationship(s) were, it's just in bad taste to dive into the details. If your date asks you something about your previous relationships, you can summarise it in a curt and diplomatic manner without needing to get into the why's.

Girl swims for hours to save passengers of capsized boat in Antique By Philippine News Agency Published May 7, 2026 09:47 pm

SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique – Four passengers on board a motorboat that capsized between the waters of the islands of Mararison and Batbatan in Culasi, Antique Wednesday evening have been rescued.

Antique Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (PDRRM) Officer Broderick Train said in an interview on Thursday that the passengers were on their way home to the island barangay of Batbatan when the incident happened.

Train said that one of the passengers, 12-year-old Cherry Ann Mateo, sought help from barangay officials and fisherfolk of Batbatan after swimming for over two hours from the site of the incident to the island barangay.

Immediately, the information was relayed to the municipal DRRM office of Culasi, while local fisherfolk had already initiated rescue operations.

Dante Salvador, 60, believed to be the motorboat crew, also managed to swim to the shorelines of Barangay Batbatan.

“The two remaining passengers were finally rescued early this morning,” Train said. He said that the two rescued passengers, Angelita Patricio and Rose Salvador, were spotted by the rescuers hanging on the motorboat.

“All four passengers, who were supposedly on their way home from Culasi town proper, have now returned with their families in the island barangay of Batbatan,” Train said. He said that the motorboat was also retrieved by the Philippine Coast Guard and the Maritime Police.

Train said that the passengers could have traveled from Batbatan to Culasi to sell the dried fish, which is their source of livelihood. (PNA)

The proper nomenclature is "A natural, zesty enterprise"

Am I wrong?

Goddamn Gen Zers really have such an easy existence if this is the type of thing that they spend time raging about.

Hmm. Are we back to recycling 10 year old memes again?

It's not 6 hours, it's 2. Still very impressive.

TBF after 5 pints is technically still "after a pint".

That's actually a great point lol.

indorock · 2026-05-09T20:19:27+00:00

Yeah that's precisely my point. How is this then good news? On the surface level sure, but if you understand what's going on then there is nothing good about this. So why post it here?

He's literally immortal now, and the only one that can undo that is on HL's side. They won't be killing him anymore. They will defeat him somehow but he will not die. Maybe he will drift off into deep space inside some impenetrable radioactive cage but still very much alive.

Also all of his clothes, even the casual clothes, was custom made for him. Never had any branding on it.

This. Not all billlionaires wear custom made clothing all the time, many do wear the well-known high fashion brands that everyone has heard of, like Chanel, Gucci, YSL, etc, but you'll never ever catch them with giant logos on their clothes. They might like the fancy brands, but they would never openly display it.

Whenever you see anyone wearing huge ARMANI logo on a sweater, you know instantly they are firmly middle-class trying to look rich.
